Food around the world Savoury cooking with Yeast Extract 10 EASY VEGAN RECIPES FROM DIFFERENT CUISINES 1 Food around the world – Savoury cooking with yeast extract As an ingredient, yeast extract is extremely versatile. You can use it to season sau- ces, bouillons, soups, savoury snacks and much more. Yeast extract brings out and balances flavours in food, just like herbs and spices. Thanks to its umami taste, it not only complements the savoury taste of meat and fish dishes, but it is also perfect for preparing vegetarian dishes. It is free from animal ingredients but still provides a meaty taste. You can also use it to counteract the loss of savouriness that usually occurs when the salt content of a dish is reduced, and thus your perfect companion for low salt cooking. With vegan recipes from different cuisines around the world, we would like to intro- duce you to the variety of dishes where yeast extract serves as the secret ingredient to create a perfect and well-balanced taste. We asked ten vegan and vegetarian food bloggers to create their favorite dish with yeast extract for you to try out at home.
